Happy Vaisakhi from all of us at Diverse Little Colours. Today is a very special day, it is the birth of the Khalsa, established by Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1699 at Anandpur Sahib.
On that day, Guru Gobind Singh called for a test of faith. Standing before the crowd, he asked for five volunteers willing to give their heads. five volunteers stepped forward, as they had faith and belief. These became the Panj Pyare, the first members of the Khalsa, symbolising courage, sacrifice and belief.
It’s a powerful reminder that faith requires action. Whenever there is a Sikh procession, there are always the Panj Pyare at the front, who are the five loved ones, the Khalsa, the pure ones.
Vaisakhi represents that same courage today.
We hope today brings prosperity, faith, and joy in your lives.
Hi and happy Vasaki. And as we say within the Sikh faith, why good you got Khalsa? Why is your foot there? You know what's amazing is today being the 14th of April, um, it really does mark an amazing, significant moment within Sikh history. It is what they call the birth of the Khalsa. This really was made and established by Guru Gormi Singh J in Anand Purusab, a place in India, and this was in the year 1699. And what's really amazing is that on that day it really was a test of faith. And this is where Guru Gobi Singhji he stood before a huge crowd, and he asked for five volunteers willing to give up their heads. Now, as you can imagine, the murmur in the crowd, people thought, is he okay? What is this about? And obviously, a lot of people just stood still, there's quiet, there was fear within that crowd, but out of that, one by one, five individuals they put their hands and they came forward. These are what we call the bunj, the five biare, and they were the first members of the Khalsa. Now, if you ever do see any ceremony within the Sikh faith, or if you go to what they call Naggit, then you always see five people walking forward. They are what they call the Bunj Biare, and they really are a symbol of within Sikh faith where they symbolize courage, sacrifice, and this belief, a belief that cannot be shaken. So it's just a little sort of reminder today that it's a Vasaki, it's uh it's basically to say have courage that kind of asks you to stand firmly with who you are, okay. Trust yourself, especially when times feel uncertain, and also to step forward, especially these days when it's not easy to do so, and be firm in who you are, okay. So, as a uh once again, just happy Vasaki. My name's Rajinda uh from DLC, and I wish you all a fantastic day.
